My dotfiles

This is my very simple i3wm dotfiles, focusing on the arrangement of high-contrast colors---which I believe aren't appreciated enough. Vibrant scarlet set against a deep, cold dark-blue background... I just love it so much.

By the way, this dotfiles is hard coded for dual monitors, so please edit ./profile (line 8-9) and ./.config/i3/config (line 126-135) before applying this dotfiles on other systems.

Showcase

Installation

The installation of this dotfiles consists of 3 steps:

Step 1: Clone

You may clone this repository using:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/iluvgirlswithglasses/dotfiles

To also clone my fonts (and neovim config), use the following commands. If NerdFont is already installed on your machine, however, there's no need to execute them.

cd dotfiles
git submodule init
git submodule update

Step 2: Copy Files

Once you've done the previous step, just copy everything in this repository to the home directory. Dependencies are:

sudo apt install kitty fish nvim i3 rofi polybar xsel compton gtk3-nocsd flameshot

Additional dependencies:

• macchina, whose executable file is also included here in ./.local/bin

Step 3: Further customization

It should be noted that firefox extensions and KDE themes won't install on their own. For the "pinky" theme as showcased:

1. Make sure ./.local/share/* is copied to ~/.local/share/
2. Use KDE System Settings to load my color scheme (iluv-sakura) and my icons (iluv-icons) for GTK and KDE apps
3. Follow the guide in ./.mozilla/README.md to theme Firefox

That should be all.

Bonus

Icons credit goes to Eliver Lara.

Rofi credit goes to Aditya Shakya.

My nvim configuration is in this repository. It uses NvChad v2.0.

The tool I used for printing two lovey-dovey cats is here.

I am planning to make another scarlet-themed rice for Hyprland. You can watch its progress here.
